<p>It's worth remembering Thurston's essay on mathoverflow (<a href="https://mathoverflow.net/questions/43690/whats-a-mathematician-to-do" rel="nofollow">https://mathoverflow.net/questions/43690/whats-a-mathematici...</a>):<p>"The product of mathematics is clarity and understanding. Not theorems, by themselves. Is there, for example any real reason that even such famous results as Fermat's Last Theorem, or the Poincaré conjecture, really matter? Their real importance is not in their specific statements, but their role in challenging our understanding, presenting challenges that led to mathematical developments that increased our understanding."</p>
